After reading and re-reading my book 6 times over a two week period, and STILL finding things wrong I gave up. A post from Maggie Barker popped up in the feed of one of my local FaceBook writers groups with a special offer. I took her up on it, sent my manuscript and a day and a half later it was back – job not just done, but very well done.
You can see examples of the changes she suggested in the next section. Now to amend the manuscript.
